Join Emily Hsu to examine what the ‘mind’ is according to Buddhism and how it affects our experience of happiness and suffering. Come explore the difference between the mind and the brain and the mind as the creator of our experience. Learn methods to transform our thoughts and attitudes and create a more positive and joyous mind.
The class will consist of Dharma talks, meditation, and question and answer.
